What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the wrecker frame may detach from the chassis, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Plain-English summary
Jerr-Dan Corporation is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 50 Ton Heavy-Duty Wrecker vehicles manufactured between April 23, 2009, and July 31, 2012. The recall involves 37 vehicles.
The defect involves the mounting hardware used to attach the front or middle of the wrecker frame to the truck chassis. This hardware may become loose or fracture. If this occurs, the wrecker frame could partially detach from the chassis frame, which increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Jerr-Dan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting bolts with larger ones free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2013. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan at 1-301-745-3713 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
